I just got Persona 4 so this idea came to mind after a few hours of playing.

Herochan1313 doesn't own Persona 4 or anything else he may use.

It had been a few weeks since Yu Narukami and his friends of the investigation team had solved the mystery of the midnight channel and defeated Izanami. Inaba had returned

to the peaceful place it had always been, more or less, and everything was safe. But that didn't matter to Yu right now; no right now the only thing on his mind was the girl who

was in his arms. Despite the fog lifting from the TV world there was still quite a few Shadows roaming around the place. Originally Yu was going to leave the clean-up to his

friends seeing as his year in Inaba was up, much to his dismay, but then something amazing happened. He had been in the middle of packing up in his room when his young

cousin, Nanako, burst into the small room with a wide smile on her face. "Big bro! Your parents are on the phone for you!" This puzzled Yu but judging from his cousin's smile he

figured something must have happened. He left the room and entered the living room to see his uncle, Ryotaro Dojima, talking on the phone with a small smile on his lips. He

noticed his nephew enter the room and quickly announced to the caller. "Yeah it was good to hear from you too sis, I gotta go now he's waiting right here." He then handed

the phone to Yu and firmly patted his back as he left to give his nephew some piracy. Yu placed the phone to his ear and almost instantly pushed it away as his mother began

to shout a barrage of questions at him. "Mom I'm fine here, but why are you calling anyway? Aren't you on the way to pick me up?"He inquired, his ear still ringing a bit. It was

then that his mother told him quite possibly the best thing he'd heard in a while: He was staying in Inaba. His mind started to fade after that but he still caught his mother's

explanation. "I'm sorry honey, but your father and I were offered another job here, so you'll have to stay with your uncle for another year." He doubted she could see the huge

grin on his face but when he warmly told her that this was great news she got the point. He told her goodbye and promised to call soon then hung up the phone and set about

to leave the house and call his friends. He was almost out the door when he tripped over something he had failed to notice in his rush: a very familiar shoe that was poking out

of the doorway. As he fell he felt himself being caught by a strong yet gentle pair of hands and looked up to see who had tripped him. Standing above him in all her glory was

his friend Chie Satonaka wearing her usual attire of her yasogami High uniform with a light green, high collared athletic jacket adorned with several buttons and her skirt. She

also had a warm smile on her lips but her eyes were filled with tears of joy as she helped him up and embraced him. Yu was shocked at this but hugged her back taking in her

scent as he did. "You're pretty clingy today Chie-chan." He told her, earning one of her famous kicks as an answer. "Of course I'm happy you idiot!" She yelled before her eyes

welled up and she hugged him again and began sobbing. "You're staying here, thank god you're staying!" He rubbed her head and placed a hand under her chin as he cleaned

her eyes. She was blushing at this but said nothing as he gently wiped her eyes and whispered to her. "There now, isn't that better Chie?" She slowly nodded and the two

gazed into each other's eyes until Chie grabbed Yu by his shirt and pull him closer to her with a cry of. "Oh just kiss me already you damn idiot!" He did just that and their lips

met in an instant. Yu was in heaven he had missed the feeling of Chie's lips on his and the way that she tasted. She seemed to have missed it as well as she was forcing her

tongue past his lips and was moaning softly. Her grip on him grew more intense as they began to delve further into the kiss, letting their tongues meet in new ways. After

about five minutes they broke for air with Chie giving him a wild look as she lessened her grip. "Consider that a "welcome back" present Yu-kun. Care for another?" He started

to chuckle awkwardly at the look she was giving him and quickly replied. "Shouldn't we call the others? I'm sure they'd like to know that I'll be staying." She pouted at him and

slowly placed her hand on his arm as she began to "walk" up it with two fingers. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you surprised them with it tomorrow. After all we have the day

off so you can spend all day with them tomorrow. "Soon her hand made it all the way to his face and was holding him by the cheek. " So what should I do now?" He asked,

knowing full well what her answer would be. As expected she gave him a flirty giggle and answered. "Why you're going to get another present Yu-kun!" And soon her lips were

back on top of his and the couple remained in the doorway for a while. As they paused for air Yu couldn't help but think about the day that this strong and beautiful girl had

become his.

"Come on Yu-kun! How are you going to face Shadows if you can't block my kicks?" It was several weeks ago prior to finding out the culprit of the murders when the incident

happened. Yu and Chie were in the middle of training and as always she was sending him to the ground every few seconds. After about the sixth time of falling to the grass

holding his stomach Yu had an idea. It was a sneaky, mean spirited idea but it was needed now more than ever. He got up again and nodded for Chie to continue, but just as

her foot was about to connect to his gut for the umpteenth time that day he moved aside at the last second. The two of them were at the riverbed as always, so when Yu

moved away a very surprised Chie accidentally fell in the river. As she glared daggers at him from her seat in the river Yu began to laugh at the sight of his friend in the river

when he paused and felt a slightly damp hand on his. He looked down and saw Chie holding his hand with a mischief filled grin and with a mighty pull dragged him into the river

as well. The river wasn't that deep so only his pants and shirt got wet, but soon enough Chie splashed him and exclaimed. "Serves you right for getting a lady all wet!" He

glared at her and then stood up above her with a grin; she froze and told him softly. "You wouldn't dare." He placed his arms on her shoulders and replied. "Maybe I would." He

then dunked her under the water and was then grabbed and pulled under as well. His eyes were closed while he was under but he could have sworn he could feel her arms

tighten around his waist. When the two returned to the surface he felt a bit heaver and noticed that Chie was still holding on to him. She also noticed this and began to blush a

deep crimson as she tried to apologize to him. "I'm so sorry Yu-kun! I didn't mean to stay on for this long… unless you want me to?" He froze at the words and his heart

skipped a few beats as he asked her what she meant. Her blush grew deeper and she could face him but he could hear her softly mutter. "I think that I might love you." He

thought he was hearing things but he gathered up the courage, thanking himself for eating all that food in the fridge [1], and grabbed her hand. She looked back at him a

shocked look on her face and before she could say a word he leaned in and pressed his lips on hers. After getting over the initial shock of what was happening to her Chie

closed her eyes and allowed herself to melt into Yu's arms. Soon after he was carrying her out of the river bridal style, yet keeping his lips firmly planted on hers. They stood like

that for what seemed like years never stopping and wanting it to never end. But soon enough their lungs failed them and they had to pull apart in order to return air to their

bodies. They stayed apart for a second and Chie asked him. "Does this mean that you..?" He nodded before she even finished and confirmed her hopes. "Yes Chie, I love you."

She gasped before attack his lips again and causing him to forget what he was doing for a few more minutes. When they were done Chie grew nervous and began to fidget. Yu

didn't like seeing her like this so he placed a gentle hand on her shoulder and asked. "What's wrong Chie?" She sighed and voiced her concerns. "Do we have to tell the

others?" He thought about that and wondered how their friends might react to this news. Yosuke might make slight fun of them but he would ultimately congratulate them.

Yukiko might have questioned it a bit and insist Chie be sure of it, but she would also approve of it. Kanji wouldn't care one way or the other seeing as he and Naoto were in a

relationship of their own, albeit a bit less PDA –ish. Teddie and Rise were most likely the only ones who might pester them about it, wanting all the details and whatnot. He

looked at Chie and judging how nervous she looked he agreed with her that they wouldn't say a word to the other's yet.

Looking back on that day Yu remembered all of the secret make out sessions and steamy love notes passed in class. He wondered if now was the time to tell his friends of his

relationship with Chie, he was sure she wouldn't mind now. As of now only two other people knew of their secret relationship: Nanako and Dojima who had been sworn to

secrecy. Nanako didn't seem to mind it, claiming that it was cute, and Dojima gave them his blessing with only one word of warning. "Don't do anything I wouldn't do!" Right

now thought, he was just contempt to having Chie be with him, and after their little "presents" at the door they were both in his room unpacking. They were almost done when

he decided to ask her about tomorrow. "Hey Chie?" She looked up from the box she was currently reaching into and replied. "Hmm? What's up Yu-kun?" He took a deep breath

and told her that it was time to tell the others. She looked at him for a long time before slowly reaching for his hand and saying. "Are you sure?" He nodded and answered.

"Yeah. I'm sure they won't eat us alive much." She laughed at this and the two resumed un packing and talking on what to tell the others.

Chie called the team together the next day simply telling them to head to Junes right away. She told Yu to stay hidden behind the group's usual table in the food court as she

waited for them to arrive. Yosuke was the first, wearing his school uniform as always with his white coat on top. He noticed the smirk on Chie's face and grew worried as he

asked. "What's wrong Chie? I didn't expect a call so soon after Yu left." She ignored him and simple told him to wait as the others arrived. Yukiko and Rise arrived together from

a cooking class, they tried to real Chie into it as well but they couldn't, and Teddie in his human form soon followed. Kanji and Naoto arrived as well, arguing about something or

another. When everyone was there Chie called for attention and said. "Okay guys, the reason I called you here today was to celebrate." They all grew confused at that and

Teddie piped up. "Celebrate? I know we solved the mystery Chie-chan but with Sensei gone now is it really the time?" Kanji spoke up afterwards. "Yeah, it just wouldn't be the

same without him here." At this Chie grinned and said. "Well good thing he is here!" Taking his cue Yu stepped out of hiding and surprised everyone with his being there. His

friends rushed him and asked why he was still in Inaba. After his explanation they all cheered and Yosuke went to get stake for all, with help from the others of course. Once

they all voiced their happiness at Yu being back and the stake was more or less gone Chie gave him a look and he called them to order. "It's good to see you guys again but

there is something else that Chie and I have to tell you. " At this the others grew silent except for Yosuke who joked. "Chie and I? What's up are you two dating behind our

backs?" At this Chie began to blush and Yu sighed as he smacked Yosuke and angrily snapped. "Yosuke! You ruined the surprise!" Everyone gasped and Yosuke chuckled

thinking it was a joke. When he saw Yu grab Chie's hand and attempt to calm her however his laughter died out and he asked. "Whoa wait a sec, you're serious?" Chie glared

at him and looked ready to sock him but instead she simply said. "Yes Yosuke, we're serious! You have a problem with that?" He smirked and shook his head as he jokingly

replied. "Not a one just took you guys forever is all!" Now Chie smacked him and as he sat their rubbing his now sore head the others congratulated the couple. "You have got

to spill everything Chie-chan!" Rise demanded as she began to gush over Chie. Teddie soon followed her and began to pester Yu as everyone else began to laugh. That is

everyone except Yukiko, who just sat there and stared. She didn't know why but when Chie admitted she was in a relationship with Yu something began to burn within her

heart. It was if she hated the fact that Chie wasn't single anymore and that Chie shouldn't be with Yu. "What's wrong with me? I should be happy for Chie but instead it feels

as if my heart is on fire." Yukiko thought as she continued to stare at Chie. She and Chie had always been the best of friends but now that Yukiko thought about it ever since Yu

had moved to Inaba Chie had spent more time with him than with her. "That's it, I must be jealous of Yu-kun getting more time with her! I'm so silly to think it was anything

else!" Yukiko assumed as the burning started to go away a little. "So, you two lovebirds have any other plans for today?" Rise giggled as she noticed Chie looking at her watch.

"Not really, why do you ask Rise?" Yu asked not liking the look she had on her face. The former idol giggled again and told them something that sent chills up Yu's spine": Rise

wanted to help Chie cook a meal. Now Yu had to admit, he loved Chie with every fiber of his body but he could not stand her cooking. True Rise had improved and could teach

Chie how to cook something edible but after last time he didn't want to risk it. "That's a great idea Rise-chan! " It was with this statement that Yu felt his heart stop as he saw

his girlfriend's eyes sparkle and he knew that she wouldn't be stopped now. Rise grinned at this and agreed at once. "Okay then, next Sunday I'll come over and show you this

killer recipe I just learned!" After everyone said goodbye and left Yu offered to take Chie home. She giggled and interlaced her arm with his as she said. "My I didn't take you for

a gentleman Yu-kun!" He smiled and softly kissed her forehead as he replied. "Well it's easy when you have to be polite to a princess such as you." She blushed and thought to

herself how lucky she was to have snagged this guy and how wonderful their lives would be now.

On the next Sunday Yu was awoken by his phone, and when he answered it he heard the cheery voice of his girlfriend. "Yu! Are you up yet?" He groaned and she took it as a

no but he still answered. "I am now, what's up?" "Get over to the Amagi Inn! And no breakfast, I don't want you to spoil your appetite!" He agreed and readied his stomach for

the pain it was likely ready to experience. On the way to the inn he ran into Teddie who seemed to be waiting for him. "There you are Sensei! I was wondering if I could go with

you and try Chie-chan's cooking!" Yu seemed surprised at the bear/human's excitement but he figured that if he brought Teddie along then he wouldn't be forced to eat that

much. "Okay Teddie, I suppose you can come along, just don't blame me when your stomach hurts!" The two then left for the Inn talking about a few things but mainly

preparing themselves for the "food" they were about to eat.

I think this turned out alright maybe a bit played out in the end but good none the less. Next time the cooking nightmare begins and Kanji gets a talking to that he never

expected.
